FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mumbai | 3rd March 2015

HelpYourNGO.com India Pvt Ltd is proud to announce its partnership with Equitymaster Agora Research Private Limited.

Equitymaster was launched in 1996 as India’s first financial website and an independent equity research initiative based out of Mumbai, India. The company brought its principles of rigorous, data-driven and unbiased research to help common investors make informed decisions in the financial markets.

Now, Equitymaster will be supporting HelpYourNGO in its mission to increase transparency in the NGO sector by acting as their title sponsor. The sponsorship support will help HelpYourNGO increase its reach, both online and offline, broaden its subscriber base, and offer more services.

Rahul Goel, CEO Equitymaster, added, “We are delighted to join HelpYourNGO in their goal of bringing transparency and integrity to the NGO sector.
